Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati has firmly rejected talks of forming alliances ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, asserting the party’s decision to contest independently.
Addressing recent speculations, Mayawati dismissed rumors of potential coalitions, emphasizing that the BSP will not be entering into any alliances for the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections. She stated that such rumors only underscored the dependency of certain parties on the BSP.
Mayawati reiterated the BSP’s stance to contest the Lok Sabha polls independently, asserting the party’s confidence in its own strength and capabilities.
Despite efforts from opposition parties to form a united front against the BJP, Mayawati clarified that the BSP has not entered into any coalition agreements. Avinash Pande, Congress’ Uttar Pradesh in-charge, had earlier extended an invitation to the BSP to join the India Bloc, aimed at countering the BJP’s dominance in the upcoming elections.
Mayawati emphasized the BSP’s unwavering commitment to the welfare of all sections of society, particularly the marginalized and oppressed. The party’s decision to contest independently, she stated, is in alignment with its dedication to serving the interests of the people.
Mayawati took to social media to reiterate the BSP’s decision, warning the public to be wary of rumors and reaffirming the party’s determination to prioritize the well-being of the populace.
1. आगामी लोकसभा आमचुनाव बीएसपी द्वारा किसी भी पार्टी से गठबंधन नहीं करने की बार-बार स्पष्ट घोषणा के बावजूद आएदिन गठबंधन सम्बंधी अफवाह फैलाना यह साबित करता है कि बीएसपी के बिना कुछ पार्टियों की यहाँ सही से दाल गलने वाली नहीं है, जबकि बीएसपी को अपने लोगों का हित सर्वोपरि है।
